[Warning for Gore? Eye-Trauma?]
Yue Niang was going to turn in for the night after that long talk with her daughter, but she realised that her daughter was going to be sleeping in dirty sheets. Honestly, trying to hide such a mess from her inadvertently caused her to create a bigger mess! Now the blankets and the bedsheets all needed to be washed.
Yue Niang scowled. Since her daughter was showering, she might as well change the sheets for her. Then she could throw them in the washing machine tonight to make sure they were scrubbed clean of… suspicious fluids, and then hang them outside when the sun rose in the morning.
She entered the room with her hands full of fabric, and paused.
The room looked empty, but it smelled…different from when she just entered. There was a strong smell of sweat - and it didn't smell like it belonged to any members of her family. She deliberately kept herself calm, even as her heart began to race.
Yue Niang's suspicious eyes swept around the supposedly empty room - and they widened as she noticed a few new stains on the hardwood floor.
She had swept the floor daily, so she was especially sensitive to any changes!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese new stains weren't caused by a sexual fluids. Upon closer look, they looked like a whole bunch of scuffed boot prints, as though someone realised they were leaving tracks and then tried to hide it by smudging it, blending the dirt with the brown hardwood floor.
But it was still dirt! From outside!
Yue Niang narrowed her eyes. Home invaders were already bad enough, but now they had the nerve to dirty her house? She was going to wipe the floor with their faces!
She purposely hummed a jolly tune, looking every inch the innocent, loving mom that was changing her daughter's bed sheets, someone that had no clue that there were people in daughter's room.
Now that she knew there were people, she could sense wary eyes on her. There were only so little places one could hide in after all. She would have to flush them out, and then get rid of them before any family members could be hurt.
So…Yue Niang opened her mouth as though she was yawning… only to let out the shrillest scream known to mankind!
"ROBBERS! ROBBERS! HELP!"
Just as she predicted, two men in black (oh, how cliche, criminals these days were all the same) burst out from her daughter's cupboard to try and silence her, only for her to purposely fling the clean bedsheets at their faces, obstructing their vision!
They were distracted for that brief moment - but that moment was all that Yue Niang needed, for she easily grabbed Xue Ning's desk chair and slammed it over the heads of one of them! She didn't need to see them, just their heads covered in the fabric.
The chair broke into pieces with a loud crack, wooden parts splintering all over the floor and the first man howled in pain.
Yue Niang howled too, because now she had to clean up the mess, along with doing extra laundry!
"Get her!" The other man yelled, finally pulling off the bed sheet. She was just one woman, and he had three other men in the house. As long as they could catch someone to use as a hostage, they'd succeed! He grabbed at her arm, but Yue Niang slammed her head against his, causing him to stumble.
He wheezed in pain when she continued her assault, pulling him down and kneeing him in the gut, but he knew they could overpower her. His partner was already shaking off the effects of having a chair slammed on his head!
But he could never expect this turn of events.
Yue Niang drove the remnants of the wooden desk chair straight into his eye! She had kept holding onto it for this purpose! Ding Fei let out an animalistic scream of pain as every nerve in his right eye seemed to go on overdrive, and his vision began to blur. There was blood flowing from one eye, and a border of red formed at the edges of his view.
"You bastards!" Yue Niang roared. "You're paying for this!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe other man hurriedly grabbed her from behind, frantically pulling her away from his boss. Yue Niang kept a firm hand on the stake - ripping it out from his eye with a loud, obscene squelch!
"Go to hell!" Yue Niang raged, headbutting the man that dared to pull her away straight under his jaw. It was painful for her, and her muscles were straining with the sudden exertion, but every sensation was dulled by the adrenaline coursing through her. It was as though the world moved in slow motion, and she could see every detail in crystal clear motion.
It had been a long time since she felt like that.
The bloodlust that had been sated temporarily by bullying Poh Jin Lian and her husband returned with a vengeance, and she found no better target than these men that dared to invade her home.
With a roar, she drove the same stake into the second man's eye! This time, she went for his left eye, just to make it a set.
Of course, Yue Niang made sure to shove it with the pointy end first. She wasn't an amateur.
"Save me! Sir! Save me! AHHH NOOOO -" The man screamed as he felt the stake enter his eye. Yue Niang even twisted the stake, delighting in his screams. "PLEASE LET ME GO!"
"I'm not done yet!" Yue Niang declared as she grabbed his head and slammed it into the wall repeatedly, causing his head to ring. He could barely stay conscious now. "You're paying for the renovations, boy!"
Ding Fei knew he had to stop her from harming his partner, but he was shaking in fear. His trembling fingers desperately tried to stem the flow of blood from his eye, but it was like using a small plaster on a stab wound, utterly futile.
